Default Problems Starting and CEL???

97 EX

so every once in a while my car wont start but all the electrical components come on and i just re adjust the neative battery cable and eventually it works.\

however...today right after driving it i tried to start it and everything came on but the car wouldnt start. after turning the key multiple times the CEL light came on so i stopped for 5 minutes andtried again and it worked. does this sound familiar to anyone?

if its something i can fix or if thepart is cheap let me know because i get into a lot of....situations....where i need to start my car and leave FAST and if one time it wont start it could be really bad.\

thanks

bump its getting worse.

so i got the diagnostic and it was three codes:

1. cylinder 4 misfire (its not the plugs i just recently had brand new plugs wires and dist cap installed by honda)

2. ignition control module

3. speed sensor

i had them erased and the next day it started but with trouble and the cel came on again. also my idle speed is somewhat lower than normal and causes the car to shake a little bit. if anyone could PLEASE help me.
